Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aviation Docs at none against CFR 23's 3. Aviation Docs also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). CFR 23's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
